Sparks & Miele Charity Fashion Show

Now, this was a fashion event to remember!



I was lucky enough to be invited along to the Sparks Fashion Show, which was sponsored by Sparks UK and Miele. This event brought like-minded people together to help raise money for children's medical research. Let me tell you about my night!

Imagine my surprise when I realised I was seated next to Sparks co-presidents Kenny and Gabby Logan... :O They were very sweet and told me a lot about Sparks as a charity and the work they do. He's a retired rugby player, and she's a TV presenter of Strictly Come Dancing fame, so I applaud how they use their time to help others.




Of course, we bloggers were there en masse and en force! I got to re-connect with the masterminds behind StyleSlicker and DressedandPressed. It was great to see them :o)



We ate, talked, laughed, and participated in the fundraising. Then... the catwalk began. It featured a mix of models and celebrities just having fun and of course, staying fierce and werking their fire. Observe:





I don't know if you can see from the pics, but we were having fun. :oP The evening was really put into focus when we gave the catwalk over to a little girl who suffers with arthritis. Children like her are exactly the reason we came together to give, so of COURSE she had to strut.



:o)

And if that weren't enough, we revealed the winner of the Miele Fashion Prize. Miele challenged young designers to come up with a design inspired by garment care. Here's the winner, Nathan:



And here's his gorgeous dress, which was made by Jasper Garvida.



The finale!



The night was a great success, and we managed to raise over £40,000 for charity. Now that's stylish! Special thanks to Miele and Sparks UK for the invitation to come along, and for allowing me to take part in giving back.
